Is this course just for study coordinators?

No. While obviously study coordinators will benefit the most from the course content, previous participants have included sub-investigators and investigators. Other members of a research team such as study administrators might also find the content of interest. More details are available in the generic course outline in the 'Downloads' section of this page.

What did previous participants say?

Feedback is collected from each course attendee. Their inputs are evaluated and, if necessary, feed into a continual revision of the course content.

This course should be a prerequisite for everyone who is dealing with clinical studies.Alexander, investigator, Switzerland.
